This shop is one of the greatest additions to the Arndale shopping mall - it's a great place to get…read morean expensive looking gift for a small amount of money. All Warren James branches look pretty similar - this one is no exception. It's facade is very modern looking with the majority of the jewelry crammed into the windows. They tend to stock cheaper types of jewelry, but they do a handful of expensive pieces as well and it's for this reason that I recommend this shop to people looking for a younger person or someone who is likely to lose their jewelry, for more important occasions it would be better to shop elsewhere. When you buy the jewelry, you are given the option of a box (for around £2 more), but the default option is to put it in a bag similar to a sandwhich bag! This shop may look small, but what they have is crammed out so much they really do have more than they seem to have.

This is a small Goldsmiths store located in the Galleria in Hatfield. However they do seem to stock…read morequite a large range of jewellery and watches. This is a goldsmiths outlet so the prices are quite a bit lower than in the usual stores. They do instore alterations which is very handy. I purchased a watch from there last year for my mother in law and the service was great even on a busy saturday before christmas.

This Newsagents has been here for years and one of the only places that I know where you can still…read morebuy penny sweets! It offers a wide range of daily newspapers and magazines, as well as crisps and chocolate bars. There's a lottery point as well so you can put your numbers on and if you partake in that naughty habit (smoking) then you can get your fix here too! There's a post office towards the back of the store, and a selection of stationary including greeting cards to buy - so it really is your one stop shop for your snail mail communication needs! The staff are polite and friendly and there not 1 but 2 handy car parks near by, so if you're driving to pick up your Sunday paper - not a problem!

This shop is located in Arndale center in Luton inside Mothercare shop. It is recently moved to…read morethere. They have got fantastic toys that help develop vital skills. Their toys also help children get off to the best possible start and tremendous fun too. The specialty of their toys is that they meet all British standards for toy safety. The store offers free play on certain days when children can come in and play with all toys free of charge. They have got toys suitable from babies to 6 to 7 year old ones. The toys are very expensive but if you look out for bargain offers then sometimes they are affordable. They have also got their own birthday club, so if we register the baby's name they send out some money off voucher and free gift on birthdays upto 2 years. The shop is clean and tidy and well organized.

In the other store the one complaint I had was that the staff were too attentive, I'm not a mother but I work with children and so like to be able to browse without feeling like someone is always peering over my shoulder. In the old ELC I would usually walk in and after about 2 minutes of browsing get fed up and leave, now the staff are on hand if you need them - I've always found it very easy to find them when I do need some help, but are not hawkish in their sales. The shop is still kept clean and tidy, although there is considerably less floor space to push a pram in now that they've moved.

This is one of my least favourite Primarks, due mostly to the fact it is so small. They do seem to…read morehave a lot less than most other Primarks which is a shame. Although I think this helps the staff as it also seems a lot tidier than other Primarks I have been to! The staff are very polite here and whenever I have paid for something they have engaged me in a good conversation which is nice considering how busy they (usually) are. Having said that, I don't think this Primark gets as busy as other ones which makes for a much more civilised shopping experience! I recommend this one for people who prefer atmosphere over choice.

Way Inn is basically the shop behind the Post Office in Berkhamsted. It's small and sells…read moreenvelopes, stationary and other Post-Office type things. There is also a cafe upstairs that is Christian in its theme. My criticism of the shop would be that it is too small and lacks anything unique to set it apart from any other stores. I think it only survives due to catching footfall from the Post Office, and if it's just envelopes or pens your after, the Way Inn will serve you well. I wouldn't really recommend going in to get anything else though, as your choice is fairly limited.
